No-one is perfect. Not everyone are born in a country with English as a native language. Not everyone have had an equally good or equally long time to learn English.

Btw,

I grab 11 wood, make a workbench, make a wooden pick, find coal, dig into a mountain/caveside, use coal to make torches, mine inside my hidey hole, make stone tools.

I ALWAYS get 11 wood on my first day. No less, no more.

There is also a double space between "coal," and "dig".

not even sure if the "now" is correct, sounds funny.

While yes, they don't equal, here's three things:

1. There's a symbol for not equal to. Look it up.
2. You misspelled both words.
3. Spelling and grammar are equally important to have correct.

1) Even if English is not your native language, you still should be able to spell.

What does being able to spell mean?
Would you expect a 6 year old person from USA to be able to spell?
Would you expect a 20 year old person who never had any education to be able to spell?

...It really boils down to, not everyone have the same opportunities as you do to learn English, and it is good to correct people so you help them learn imo, but responding to them in a negative way is completely unfair.

Probably rarely. Then there are 7 year olds, 8 year olds...
You did not answer my question.

If the person lived in an English-speaking country, yes. That doesn't equal being able to spell, though.

Maybe that the reason people can be smart in one area like astronomies and computers neseccarily does not mean they are intelligent in another areas?
